Market Organizer Network at Fish Auction; Case Study of Gauang Market, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 09, SEPTEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Market Organizer Network At Fish Auction; Case Study Of Gauang Market, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia Firdaus, Ariesta, Sri Rahayu, Nurus Shalihin Abstract: Market is an important economic structure in almost economic societies. By using market organization and network approach, this study would like to see how market organization works at the Fish Auction (TPI) at Gauang Market. This study was conducted qualitatively in 2015 with data collection method through in-depth interviews, observation, and document studies. The result shows that there were two types of market organizers that determine market at the Fish Auction (TPI) at Gauang Market. The market organizers were linked by three binding network forms.

Index Terms :Network, Market Organizer, Market Chain, Fish Auction, Traditional Market, ———————————————————— 1. INTRODUCTION (TPI) at Gauang Market is a developed traditional fish market THE orientation of economic development in fisheries sector is that was established in 1950s. The population development an effort to the sustainability of fisheries development by and economic growth make the traditional market grow into a encouraging the productivity in fisheries catch and the market that provides daily needs of the people (Zusmelia & expansion of the marketing (Pieris, 2001). One of the Firdaus, 2016a). For the development of fishermen‘s economy, government‘s policy break through is to provide autonomy for Koperasi Minagates (Mina means fish, Gates is a shortened the regions in developing marketing facilities and infrastructure word from Gauang, Teluk Nibung and Sungai Beremas) was for fisheries management (Pieris, 2001). Market fish is one of established in 1960. The name Minagates stands for Mina the infrastructures supporting the economic activity of (fish) Gauang, Teluk Nibung, and Sungai Beremas (Arista et fishermen. In Indonesia, the large-scale fish market is known al., 2016).The cooperation then becomes a partner of TPI known as Tempat Pelelangan Ikan (Fish Auction) and Gauang in fish auction activity. Fish auction, by referencing to abbreviated as TPI was one of the driving factors in improving the Joint Decrees of the Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of the fisheries business and fisherman‘s welfare (Wiyono, Agriculture, and Minister of Cooperatives and Development of 2005)..Historically, fish auction has been known since 1992. Small Enterprises Number 139 Year 1997; Fish auction is established and managed through fishery 902/Kpts/PL.420/9/97; and 03/SKB/M/IX/1997, is a place cooperatives, especially in Java Island, with the aim of where sellers and buyers carry out transaction of buying and protecting fishermen from price-fixing practice by middlemen selling fish through auction. Thus, TPI, according to the and, at the same time, helping fishermen develop their own sociology literature, is a market. As a market, TPI has actors businesses (Hertanto, Kushandayani, Astuti, & Windiani, 2013; and networks who are working on it. Sociology studies have Pramitasari, 2005). In West Sumatera, based on DKP of West discussed market issues, ranging from traditional markets Sumatera data there are 27 units of PPI (Pelabuhan (Agboola, Azizul, Rasidi, & Said, 2018; Zusmelia, Firdaus, & Pendaratan Ikan/Fish Landing Port) and TPI scattered in Ansofino, 2019), modern markets (Najib & Sosianika, 2017; various districts or cities in coastal areas such as Padang Suryadarma, Poesoro, Budiyati, Akhmadi, & Rosfadhila, 2007; Pariaman Regency, Padang City, Agam Regency, Mentawai Utomo, 2011), including in the network approach (Seaman, Islands Regency, and West Pasaman Regency. In the city of McQuaid, & Pearson, 2017). However, network studies at TPI Padang, which is the capital of West Sumatera province, there are quite limited. This study is aimed to investigate the actors are some fish auction places, they are TPI Gauang in and networks working on TPI by using the approach to Kecamatan Lubuk Begalung, TPI Sungai Pisang in Kecamatan economic sociology. Bungus Teluk Kabung, and TPI Pasie Nan Tigo in Kecamatan Koto Tangah (Arista, Rahayu, & Irwan, 2016).The fish auction 2 THEORETICAL REVIEW Market is an important socio-economic institution in society and has been an important interest in social studies especially since 1950s (Swedberg, 1994). In the literature –especially the economy literature- market is often associated as a place of ———————————————— buying and selling between traders and buyers (Lie, 1997). Market, in a simple definition, is a medium where exchanges Firdaus is currently a Senior Lecturer at Sociology Education can take place.

Broadly speaking, market can Nurus Shalihin is currently a Senior Lecturer at Religious Studies be understood as an organization that organizes and Department, Faculty of Ushuluddin and Religious Studies, UIN Imam coordinates all activities within it (Estudillo, Sawada, Kajisa, Bonjol Padang, E-mail: [email protected] Fuwa, & Kikuchi, 2010; Root, 2007). In another approach, 37 IJSTR©2019 www.ijstr.org INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 09, SEPTEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 market is defined as a place where goods and services are maintain healthy milk product quality standards on the market sold to customers at a certain price that is paid with money (Suckert, 2017).Sellers are the main players in market, but (Fligstein, 1996).According to the above definitions, market they are controlled by two other actors. Basically, their can be viewed from two perspective, they are market as a reactions to market organization affect the way market works, place (market place) and as a system (market system). Market but they often involve themselves in organizing markets in a as a market place, according to Oxford Dictionary, is a place collaboration with fellow buyers or sellers. In this case, the where buying and selling occurs. This concept refers to a authors distinguish the difference between switch-role markets market that has been understood by many people; a place and fixed-role markets. The first is a market where sellers can where merchants and buyers meet and exchange their goods turn into buyers, and vice versa. In this type of market, there is or products with other materials. Thus, market that is intended no stable foundation in regulating the market. The second is in this context is a physical market. On the other hand, market the market where sellers have permanent role and buyers as a market system according to business dictionary is a cannot turn into sellers (e.g. automotive product market). In social network that permits interaction between buyers and this type of market, sellers regulate the market for the common sellers. Furthermore, McConnell, Brue & Flyn (2009) even said good (Ahrne et al., 2015).Referring to the theoretical that market system is a gigantic communications system. framework discussed above, this study limits itself to two main Through changes in prices and profits, it communicates issues. First, he author state that market on this study is changes in such basic matters as consumer tastes and elicits market place, which is the place to meet sellers and buyers appropriate responses from businesses and resource and make a transactions to agree on prices for the good. suppliers (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009). As a market Therefore, in this study the intended market place is a market system, market can be interpreted as a mechanism or system which is a place for fish auction at where the good is fish in governing the market (Zusmelia & Firdaus, various scales. Second, the market organizer in this paper is 2016b).Sociologically, market has been one of the most the market actor at the fish auction. Both of market place and interesting areas of sociological study for the last few decades market organizer is site in Gauang market, Padang city, West (Swedberg, 1994). There are three mainstream theory groups Sumatra province, Indonesia used by sociologists in the study of market, they are network, institution, and performative. The network focuses on the 3 METHOD rational relationships between actors as the material of social This research was conducted as a part of own study at the fish structure, while the institutionalist focuses on how conditions auction (TPI) in Gauang Market, Padang.

    Advances in Engineering Research (AER), volume 147 Conference on Global Research on Sustainable Transport (GROST 2017) DOES BUKITTINGGI NEED AN AIRPORT? Prima Saputra1, Wike Arinda Putri2, Basri Fahriza3 1. STMT Trisakti, 2. STMT Trisakti, 3. STMT Trisakti corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Building a new airport in Bukittinggi becomes necessity to support tourism industry in west Sumatera and strengthen Bukittinggi as tourist destination. Eventhough the distance from Minangkabau International Airport to Bukittinggi is 72 km, the route and traffic condition have made the time to reach Bukittinggi about 2.5 hours on regular day but in holiday season the travel can take 10 hours. To analyze the problem we used SWOT and IFE and EFE to find the result of the discussion. Keywords: Bukittinggi, Airport, Transportation, Tourism, Infrastructure Introduction Transportation infrastructure is a key element for the development of tourist destination (Rai, 2017) . An airport is not only as infrastructure function but also as a supporting facilities of tourism sector. An air transport is able to move faster than other transportation and has a straight path with barrier free (Setiani, 2015). An airport can help reducing land transportation problems and can be an alternative in solving various problems which caused by land transportation. The tourism itself can bring so many impacts on the transportation, social, economy, etc. Tourism has become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world (Ferreira & Dias, 2015). Bukittinggi is a city in West Sumatera Province and it has become a tourism icon in Indonesia since 33 years ago.

  • Flash Flood in Arau Watershed, West Sumatera: a Mitigation Study
    MATEC Web of Conferences 229, 03002 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201822903002 ICDM 2018 Flash flood in Arau watershed, West Sumatera: a mitigation study Irfan Pramono1,*and Endang Savitri1 1Watershed Management Technology Center, Ministry Of Environment and Forestry, PO Box 295 Surakarta, Indonesia Abstract. Flash flood often occurs in West Sumatera. In spite of heavy rain, flash floods are also caused by the landslide in the riverside that blocks the river as a natural dam. The natural dam can be broken at any time, depending on storage capacity. Flash flood occurs when the dam is broken. The aim of the research is to mitigate flash floods based on parameters influencing flood and landslide. The research was conducted in Arau watershed, West Sumatera. Parameters that have a direct proportion of floods are maximum daily rainfall, watershed shape, river gradient, drainage density, slope, and land cover. Parameters influencing landslides are antecedent soil moisture, slope, geologic type especially fault line, soil depth, and land cover. GIS is used to analyze the factors influencing flood and landslide spatially. The results show that more than 50% of the Arau watershed are slightly high and high vulnerability due to its natural condition. Furthermore, the locations of fault, especially in the riverside, should be noticed because this location could become a natural dam causing flash flood. In order to reduce flash flood impact, the natural dam should be opened as soon as possible. 1 Introduction Java, and West Sumatra. In other countries such as in Tahiti in February 2014, a big flood occurred in this Flash floods are one of the most destructive natural valley.

The water quality data for supporting lake management in Indonesia are very limited due to financial constraints. To address this issue, satellite data are often used to retrieve water quality data. Here, we developed an empirical model for estimating the Secchi disk depth (SD) from Landsat TM/ETM+ data by using data collected from nine Indonesian lakes/reservoirs (SD values 0.5–18.6 m). We made two efforts to improve the robustness of the developed model. First, we carried out an image preprocessing series of steps (i.e., removing contaminated water pixels, filtering images, and mitigating atmospheric effects) before the Landsat data were used.
